What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[RBH]

I also got Rocky to reblock my milan Stratoliner.
I love the look of it now, there was plenty of crown to give it a better look.

After the reblock.

Here is another Loungers shot of how the hat looks as sold.

Fallon brought in a hat she made for a lady.

This piece is something to see.

While there a lady brought in her husbands old Champ thin ribbon.
Mike worked a little magic oin it was it was looking way better when it left the shop.

This gent got himself a Pale Rider hat for Christmas.

Happy Holidays to All!!!

While there Mike got a call from BobC, I got to talk to him awhile [great to hear from you] and got to get a photo or two of his new hat.

Thank you a ton for posting these, Rusty. It was great to talk with you and Mike a while today too. I told Mike when I asked him to make this hat for me I wanted to drive down and pick it up in person, and that's still what I want to do. But at the same time, I was anxious to see how it turned out. I really appreciate you putting up some pics for me. I waited as long as I could stand to call Mike to see how this one was coming along. I asked him to make it when we were there for Fedorafest and told him then there was no hurry....get to it when you have time, I said. I hit the jackpot by calling this weekend because you happened to be there too and I got to talk to both of you. Hopefully we can get there real soon as I am anxious to see this hat on my noggin and to visit with Mike, Rocky and Fallon and hopefully you if you can make it again. This is the first felt western in my collection, and that Mike is some kind of guy. He's always willing to jump in and help someone who needs a bit of a lift to get them off the ground. There ain't no better folks than Mike Moore and the other folks at Buckaroo.

This gentleman owns that Pale Rider better than anyone I've seen wear it, even Clint Eastwood. It looks super on him.

Rusty is that your black Biltmore in the picture with Rocky? It looks really good, I may just get one of those yet.

 

[Chepstow]

My new arrival: Habig Sport Ventilo with " air condition " !
A wonderful hat for me. Worn the whole weekend and it will be more.

 

[randooch]

"Cool" one, Manfred! Where are the vent holes?

 

[Chepstow]

Randall, thanks, my friend! Look in the German and Austrian hat thread fo more details!

 

[Rogera]

I don't believe that last part, Perry.

Good works in a great hat, Mystic!

Two mile walk for the sad morning paper. Borsalino Alessandria.

Absolutely horrible day. I think this is why I got into vintage and nostalgia. It was once a different world.

 

[DJH]

Manfred - that hat is very cool (ha ha!). I checked out your photos and it is very interesting how they designed the ventilation.
Enjoy wearing it!

No need for air conditioning here this morning. I'm wearing my blue Emerson today

 

[mayserwegener]

Alexander, Che, Manfred, Thanks!

David, Thanks! Yes this is the same make and model hat. I sold one (I had two) to Alexander but it turned out to be a bit small for him so he ended up reselling it. By the way your blue Emerson looks fantastic!

Manfred, The P. & C. Habig Wien Sport wears great!
